Revisiting Max Weber's Ethic of Responsibility
To what extent could Max Weber's ethic of responsibility serve as a model for us today? An adequate answer to this question could only be given on the basis of a satisfactory interpretation and thorough assessment of his ethic of responsibility. In this monograph Etienne de Villiers sets himself the task of doing just that. He establishes that, in spite of serious shortcomings, Weber's ethic points to the contemporary need for an ethic of responsibility as a second-level normative ethical approach that would address the undermining effect of modernisation on ethical living. Such a contemporary ethic of responsibility would provide guidelines on how ethical living could be responsibly enhanced in our time. The author also presents a brief proposal on how a contemporary ethic of responsibility might be designed.
An Ethic of Responsibility for Nigeria
Corruption is much more than a political problem. Striking at the moral fabric of society, corruption has ethical and theological implications that must be addressed if human beings are to be protected and human dignity safeguarded. In this study, Dr. Kefas U. Kure examines the dimensions of corruption in a Nigerian context. He explores the impact of political and religious corruption on vulnerable populations, particularly as it undermines belief in the worth and value of human lives. Drawing from African contextual theology, he demonstrates the need for an ethic of responsibility that would promote personal and collective action in combating corruption and defending human dignity. Such an ethic, he argues, would aid Christians, theologians, and church leaders in recognizing the importance of their role as promoters of justice, champions of human rights, and witnesses to the image of God in each and every human being.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer Refuting Carl Schmitt's Dezision

Release Date: 2025-06-26
Radler examines Bonhoeffer's and Schmitt's intellectual paradigms of thought of theology and jurisprudence. Whilst both thinkers encounter constitutional institutional models, they arrive at opposing conclusions and actions. This book tackles how they approach the indicators for a decision of choices between alternatives, the urgency of resolving the problems at hand, the intended goal, and the following active manifestation in Christ. Radler reveals how Schmitt's form of Dezision, resting on a linear model of history, abstracts metaphysical content from objective normative evaluation and, in support of a human personality representing the idea of Christ, elevates the significance of the self over content and subject in structural analogy to theological dogma. On the other hand, Bonhoeffer's theology repudiates Schmitt's political-jurisprudential position, contesting that history ultimately focuses on leading to human wholeness through reconciliation.
